VS 2008 and SQL Anywhere 12

[Former Member]

Hi all, I am trying to connect to a SQL Anywhere Database using the ianywhere.data.sqlanywhere.dll through .net. It worked fine using the 11 driver to connect to a 9 database. But we have now upgraded to 12. I can no longer us the SAConnection. It gives me a Server version error. I installed the vspackage for 12. But still will not work. Does anyone else have problems or can anyone help out? Thanks Tom

Seeing the exact error text would be helpful.

Keep in mind that the DLL's for .NET in version 12 have different names from their (single) V11 counterpart - I ran into this with testing the NHibernate 3.2.0 GA release with SQL Anywhere. In V12, the .NET DLL names are

ianywhere.data.sqlanywhere.v4.0.dll for .NET version 4.0, and ianywhere.data.sqlanywhere.v3.5.dll for .NET version 3.5.

in V11.0.1 you already have the ianywhere.data.sqlanywhere.v4.0.dll
